Schiff was born in Budapest and began piano lessons at the age five with Elisabeth Vadasz. Schiff studied at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest, and later in London with George Malcolm. He emigrated from Hungary in 1979.[1]
In 1999 he formed his own chamber orchestra, the Cappella Andrea Barca. He has since appeared as a conductor with many major orchestras.
